Yes, three visits this week. (Did you enjoy the sunny Yorkshire coast pic taken near HORNSEA NURSERY in the last entry?) Greetings to everone at KIRK SMEATON and thanks for an interesting day.

Plus a hello, hello, hello to a group of young writers from TRANMERE PARK INFANTS SCHOOL, GUISELEY PRIMARY SCHOOL & RAWDON ST.PETERS PRIMARY SCHOOL who met up together for a special writing day. Have good fun with your illustration time tomorrow!

That's when I'll be off to NIDDERDALE COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL at Pateley Bridge to talk to Year 8 pupils about storytelling and picture books, c/o a very helpful friend.

Odd sight today: on the way home I was stuck for far too long behind a puttering old-fashioned Citroen car , as were other vehicles. This gave me plenty of time to observe the sticker on its back windscreen - which said "NO to EUROPE!" Some contradiction here, surely? Sorry, needed to drive so no picture! Must go. Need to repack my "talk bag" yet again . . .
